Tikka CTR - Ordered black, received woodland camo

[Loper]

Looks great. Roll with it.

I have a black one I will trade you for if you don't like the camo.

Thanks for the offer but I actually love it.

Thought this forum might find this one interesting since it’s so pro tikka. I ordered a CTR in 6.5CM, this ended up showing up. Initially I walked away thinking I would send it back, but turned around to go back to the shop, on the way home to complete the transfer. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but I think it actually looks pretty awesome. The fore grip, to me, feels like a big improvement over the normal stock.

Some more googling and I found it’s a special edition camo called M05 Maastokuvio camo, apparently a pattern the Finnish military used, and not one I’ve seen on any tikka rifles from factory until today. Also another weird thing is that I saw it’s supposed to be for .308 rifles only, so it’s pretty interesting, overall feel lucky about this mistake!

Can you buy this online? I have never seen this available in 6.5, only 308.

That's awesome! I have one of them in the 308 with the M05. Cool you somehow got a 6.5 creedmoor.

Where did you buy your 308 one?
